I’m a professional actor and self-taught writer based in the Northwest. I trained in acting, but writing kind of snuck up on me—now I’m hooked and learning as I go, especially when it comes to screenwriting.

I’ve written four short films that've been produced, as well as a 90-minute play that won the 2024 Power Plays Competition. My latest short, Boys Like You, won the Golden Bee Award at the Manchester Film Festival, which was wild.

I usually write about identity and agency—stuff I’m naturally drawn to, whether I’m acting or writing. Big fan of writers like Jack Thorne and Charlie Brooker, who really know how to dig into messy, human stories.

Always up for new projects and love working with other creatives who want to make something meaningful (or at least interesting). I have several treatments for projects (film and theatre) across broad genres, which can be accessed through my website.
